I have no issue with that, I would certainly want to retain that option - bit don't whine when something costs you more when paying for cash.

Just shows how many old b4stards there on this forum! ????

I just tip well - if the service has been good. For low fares like 30 Baht from a local hotel to Don Muang airport I will pay 100 Baht.

No one said we should eliminate cash..............................but cashless should be the favoured option.

OK....my friend has a 12 month contract. Can you do a 90 day report on an address that is not 'registered' ?

I never questioned you having an opinion, soldier.......I just disagreed with it.

Keeping digging, your circles are getting wider, as your credibility evaporates further.

I usually open the rear passenger to ask about the ride. If they decline I walk off and leave the door open. Childish, I know, but I know that the mild inconvenience will irritate them.

So you can't provide a quote........I thought not.

Luddite. "Tap and Go" is perfect for the entertainment industry.

Can you quote where I claimed that the EU bureaucracy runs the EU ?

What about condominiums? If the owner submits a TM30 surely you have changed (registered) address.

Thank you. I think we have to deal with the hypothesis first - and then factor in the practicalities. In this case, as stated, he cannot get an embassy letter so he needs to deposit 800k if he wants to do the extension application this year.

.....and that calculated amount in the bank can be held for just, say, 60 days?

That is true - if a little churlish. In theory the civil servants don't run the country or make the decisions. Unlike Brussels I doubt there are 10,000 employees earning more than the UK PM. If you are defending EU bureaucrats your credibility is lost

Thank you. That makes it almost impossible for a first time applicant. IF he had the embassy income letter do you think that the balancing money in the bank for 2 months would be sufficient? It would be if applying with 800k in the bank.

Regarding applying for Extension of stay after arriving in Thailand with ‘O’ visa for purposes of retirement. Can the income method plus money in the bank be used when applying first time. Mate of mine has 50,000 baht a month pension so would have to put about 9 grand or so AUD to that to reach 65,000 a month. If he deposited that cash on arrival and then last 30 days of visa made application for extension of stay, would that be ok if he obtained a letter from the bank showing pension going in from Australia in such a short duration?

That is simply not true. If it was true you would be able to quote the relevant section from the Civil & Commercial Code. I invite you to do so - or retract your nonsense comment. Here is a link to help you try and find it......... https://www.samuiforsale.com/law-texts/thailand-civil-code-part-1.html

Do you have no friends or family in the UK?

Depends which Immigration office....................Bumfuknowhere can multitask, but the processing plant that is Jomtien will send you to different windows. Maybe Jomtien when you back to collect your passport.....

Good luck with that one.......

Probably grumpier than normal because Indyref2 isn't happening.......????

15 days before (which is really 14 calendar days_ up to the actual due date is the reporting period online. 7 days grace period afterwards for personal visits.

Yes. I had forgotten about them - obviously, some Remainers have not.

Just for the purposes of the debate (and not a criticism of the OP) I am not sure I would have waited 2 weeks for a response; I know he has 7 days to report personally but after a week of waiting I would have reported in person.
